Hello everyone.
It seems I don't have the permission to write in a folder but I don't understand why :
olivier:~$ ls -l /srv/
total 8
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root ftp 4096 Feb 14 10:16 ftp
drwxrwxr-x 2 http http 4096 Feb 22 16:53 http
olivier:~$ cat /etc/group | grep http
http::33:olivier
olivier:~$ cd /srv/http
olivier:/srv/http$ touch myfile
touch: cannot touch `myfile': Permission denied
So /srv/http is owned by user http of group http, with write permission for group members.
I am part of the http group but I can't create (or delete) a file in /srv/http.
Is this behaviour normal?
Thanks!

Two questions:
Have you logged out and back in since becoming a member of group http?
What are the permissions of /srv ?

I guess that was the problem since now after rebooting it works!
Thanks.
